Vier-Wege-Olfactometer-Assay: Eine Methode zur Bewertung von Odorant-Cued-Responses in Drosophila
Published: April 30, 2023
Abstract
Quelle: Lin, C.C., et al. Olfactory Behaviors Assayed by Computer Tracking Of Drosophila in a Four-quadrant Olfactometer. J. Vis. (2016).
Fruchtfliegen haben ein komplexes Geruchssystem, können Hunderte von Geruchsstoffen diskriminieren und ihren Geruchssinn nutzen, um Verhaltensentscheidungen zu lenken. Dieses Video beschreibt den Vier-Wege-Olfactometer-Assay, eine Methode, um olfaktorische Verhaltensreaktionen bei Fliegen zu untersuchen. Der vorgestellte Protokollclip zeigt, wie man mit Testfliegen umgeht und welche kritischen Schritte beim Durchführen des Tests sind.
Protocol
Dieses Protokoll ist ein Auszug aus Lin et al., Olfactory Behaviors Assayed by Computer Tracking Of Drosophila in a Four-quadrant Olfactometer, J. Vis. Exp. (2016). 1. Verhaltensreaktionen auf attraktive und abweisende Geruchsstoffe Schalten Sie den Temperaturregler ein und stellen Sie ihn auf 25 °C ein. Verbinden Sie die Geruchskammern (Steuer- und Prüfgeruchsstoffe) durch Einsetzen der Schläuche an den Auslass der Geruchskammer und an die Pus…
